Your Moment of Schadenfreude

Because I love it when Rachel takes someone down hard
J.D. Hayworth was defeated in 2006 largely because he was one of the most, if not the most, compromised candidates by his ties to Jack Abramhoff.

Well, now he's on Maddow, and claiming that John McCain's investigations of the Abramhoff affair in 2004 exonerated him.

What actually happened was that McCain did his best to cover up all the dirt in 2004, because he wanted to run for President in 2008, which meant getting the Republican nomination.

So, now that Hayworth has had his ass kept out of jail by McCain, Hayworth is running a scorched earth primary challenge against him.

Heh.

BTW, Dennis G. at Balloon Juice has the full story, and McCain's cover-up is a remarkably sordid tale.

Heh.

I wonder when McCain starts leaking stuff from his files tot he press about this.

Heh. Heh.
